    <remarks>Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the &quot;SPA&quot;), dated as of February 15, 2006, by and among Tinicum Capital Partners II, L.P. (&quot;TCP&quot;), Tinicum Capital Partners II Parallel Fund, L.P. (&quot;TCPP&quot;) and TransTechnology Corp. (the &quot;Company&quot;), TCP agreed to purchase, from the Company through a privately negotiated transaction (the &quot;Transaction&quot;), 1,658,044 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (&quot;Common Stock&quot;) for a purchase price of $7.50 in cash per share.  Under the SPA, TCPP agreed to purchase 8,623 shares of Common Stock, also at a purchase price of $7.50 in cash per share.  Prior to the closing of the Transaction, which occurred on February 17, 2006, TCP owned 62,875 shares of Common Stock, and TCPP owned 425 shares of Common Stock.  Upon the closing of the Transaction, TCP owned an aggregate of 1,702,919 shares of Common Stock, and TCPP owned an aggregate of 9,048 shares of Common Stock.

Because TCP and TCPP may be deemed to be under common control, both may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other, although TCP and TCPP both disclaims such beneficial ownership.  If TCP and TCPP are deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock held by the other, TCP and TCPP's aggregate beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be 1,729,967 shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to rule 16a-1(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &quot;Act&quot;), TCP states that this filing shall not be deemed an admission that TCP is, for purpose of Section 16 of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock owned by TCPP.</remarks>
